Underrated. I liked this a whole lot more than Candy Claws' stuff - SoC has a lot cleaner and softer a sound but still retains a strong part of CC's aesthetic. This album truly puts the 'dream' in dream pop, with a very lazy and hazy record to chill to in a sunny summer prairie - this isn't catchy dream pop for car rides. The intro on 1 is super nice and dreamy, while 2 is simpler and less catchy but with a very cool atmosphere to it. 3 continues this style, then the album takes a catchier turn on 4. This has a lot of synth part and electronica bits, which here reminded me a bit of Yoshimi in a remote way. 5 is a lazy but blissful jam that is transitions superbly into its own continuation on the catchy 6 which is pretty much 5 part B really. After this strong mid album, I was convinced this would get at least a 3.8 - before that I was thinking of a 3.7 maybe. 7 is the only track that looses momentum a bit, but 8 is incredibly chill, and after a short interlude, the concluding track offers hypnotic synth works that stands out from the rest of the album but works great as a finale and makes the last track another jam. 3.9
